  b. 485-490

4-note slurs in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

3-note slurs in GE2

The shorter slurs of GE2 in b. 485-486 and 489-490 (as well as in b. 477-478, 481-482 and 490-491) must be a result of a revision, although the reason thereof is unclear. It could have been due to thinking in terms of bowing: adding a note both ending a motif and falling on a strong beat of the bar to the previous ones would be unnatural on string instruments.
